History

La Révolution was started June 11th, 2007 by inuyashafan213 as the second coming of the AD Fanfic. The first AD Fanfic was The Cilliad, which was written by inufan213 and contained 73 chapters across many arcs. For La Révolution, inufan213 decided that the AD regulars would write the continuations of the story. This happened since inufan213 just didn't have the time to continue the story and the AD regulars wanted it their way... though they weren't even in Burger King...

The Website

The website for La Révolution was launched June 29th, 2007. HeeroYuy135 gets the credit for the idea of the website, and mgangel1124 gets the credit for the creation of the website.

Here's the website, yo.

Characters

Main article: List of characters in La Revolution

Organizations

The Blacken Syndicate	A revolutionary group created by Landon Blaken after his parents were killed by the Actionia military for protesting against Ozzal's unjust laws. The Syndicate consists of a menagerie of people (mainly AD board members) who share a similar hatred for Ozzal and the corrupt Actionia government. It is assumed that their eventual goal is the overthrow of Ozzal and the creation of a fairer government. Now, if only they could get their act together. Oh, and according to a chapter by mgangel, they disguise themselves in Mardi Gras outfits, but this has yet to actually happen in a chapter....
The Echelon	A secret organization created by Ozzal to serve as a sort of special ops/secret police. So far, the organization has been made up primarily of [as] Action villains, with the sole exception being Emiri. Echelon agents tend to either work by themselves or with a contingent of Actionia soldiers. The true purpose of the Echelon is known only to Ozzal. In recent chapters, the Echelon got antsy and decided to capture both important members of the Syndicate and any civilians involved in the riot in Chapter 13, which kind of made Ozzal mad. In Chapter 21, the head agents of the Echelon, Zeus and Kay El, make their presence known in Actonia.
The Order of Glass	The obligatory mysterious third organization. Whereas the Syndicate are technically the good guys, and the Echelon/Actionia government are the bad guys, the Order is meant to be the group that exists between the two, with questionable motives and methods of operation. "Ends justify the means" kind of people. Fortunately, they don't seem to like Ozzal all that much, and many of the members operating in Actionia are sympathetic to the Syndicate's cause. Their sole source of identification are their glass crosses, which they wear around their necks. These things have a tendency to flap around quite a bit in the wind, and will probably really hurt someone someday as a result. They also make great gifts.
Preventer Agency	Babblstan's CIA and FBI. Two of its operatives, Quatre Raberba Winner and Duo Maxwell, are conducting an investigation into the deaths of Heero and Riza Yuy, and find out that their deaths was an assassination attempt by the Actonia government. (series of origin: Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz)
The Second Third Party	An organization shrouded in secrecy, with secret plans and a secret zeppelin. De Sombras and Blaken are key members called the Cool Mexicanos.

Locations

Location	Reference	Description
Actonia	Action Discussion folder	Actonia serves as the country of the main setting so far in "La Revolution."
Comedia	Comedy Discussion folder	It is the sister nation of Actonia, as well as the former home of Luna. However, there are hints of a rivalry between the two nations, and some in each country would like to see them break their ties.
Comdot Estate	as.com folder	The "White House" of Actonia; the residence of the Head Governor of Actonia.
Trunks' Pub and Dance Dance Revolution Hut	Trunks' series of Watching the Anime Block Experiment threads	Meeting place of the revolutionary group. Closed many times due to fire safety violations. Is destroyed as of Chapter 21.
Babblstan	Babbling folder	A country that borders Actonia. Despite their lack of technology, the citizens are very loyal. The future Head Governor Ozzal began a war with Babblstan 13 years ago as a military commander. This is also where the freelance snipers, Heero and Riza, lived.
Gunsmoke Inc.	Gunsmoke Inc. threads	Meeting place of the seemingly smaller Syndicate branch. Most of whom turned out to be members of the Order of Glass.

The fate of Raef's parents may be considered a reference to Winry's parents in Fullmetal Alchemist.
Vespa and Guitar = Owned by Shipon. The guitar was originally Emiri's. (series of Origin: FLCL)
The Diclonus Immigration = The incident where Actionia wouldn't allow the Diclonus in ther because of the anti-streaking laws. This parodies the incident where Kim Manning wanted [as] to pick up Elfen Lied, but the severe editing would make it unintelligible, causing Manning to decline the offer.

Love Hotels Make More Than Anime = Refers to an article on ANN where it was stated that Love Hotels make twice as much money as anime in Japan.

Other anime

DDR = A game that makes people think they can dance, when they really can't... The most popular game in Trunks's pub. Is currently trashed. Trunks is waiting for an imported one to come in.

Music

KOTOKO = A very famous J-POP singer. Orochi really likes him.
Avril Lavigne = A "crappy chick-rock singer" whose name is remarkably similar to what Hikki calls April.

Movies

Quentin Tarantino = An American film director, actor, and screenwriter. He rose to fame in the early 1990s as an auteur indie filmmaker whose films used postmodern nonlinear storylines, and stylized violence interwoven with often-obscure cinematic references. His films include Reservoir Dogs (1992), Pulp Fiction (1994), Jackie Brown (1997), Kill Bill (Vol. 1 2003, Vol. 2 2004) and Death Proof featured in Grindhouse (2007).

Books

Jean Valjean = The protagonist of Victor Hugo's Les Miserables set during the French Revolution. Valjean is a convicted theif who escapes from prison and begins his life anew as a changed man under the alias Father Madeleine. In La Revolution, Father Sadar mentions to Samson that he is a theif escaped from prison who has started a life anew, just like Valjean.
The Count of Monte Cristo = Emiri is mentioned reading this book by Alexander Dumas in Chapter 10 of La Revolution and is later overheard by Samson and Sadar roleplaying a scene in the book with Kira as Edmond Dantes, Dumas' main character, and herself as Mercedes, Edmond's love interest.
The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Emmuska Orczy = The book that Cille finds in Ghost's Book Shop. Also, the early relationship between Landon and Cille is reminiscent of the courtship of Percy and Marguerite. (At least the actual Cille thinks so.)

Mythology

Dragon's Teeth = Refers, obviously, to the teeth of the fearsome mythological beast. However, Furion also read a book once where a dragon died and his teeth fell out and became soldiers that took revenge on the people that killed it....

Inufan213's Unglorified Departure

I didn't really say good-bye without explaining myself. I just grew so stressed with the boards in relation to my personal life; I didn't realize that I was doing so bad with my studies last year, and I can partly attribute the cause of my poor marks and my inability to focus to nothing other than the ASMB. This is my final year of high school, and I don't want to get f'ed up right at the end of my run. A year of straight A's is all I want, and I can't have any distractions. :(

So, since you guys were probably my best friends, I feel bad having left you so soon, I was just having a nervous breakdown and needed to end it. I know you guys will grow to forget I existed eventually, but I still know you guys are great people. You made my experience on the boards worthwile and, actually, I learned so many valuable things from you guys.

It was great run, you guys.
